In spite of the significant number of women choosing to study architecture as undergraduates, once qualified women remain in the minority.

As professionals their expertise is often overlooked, their work devalued and their contribution to the canon forgotten.

Yet women’s work is critical to the sustainability of a profession that must aspire to design high-quality buildings for the whole of society.

How can architecture attract, recruit and retain women? And how can women find ways to thrive within it? Underpinned by inclusion, internationalism and intersectionality, this practical guide looks back as well as forward, exploring the history of women working in architecture as well as interrogating the contemporary landscape.

It provides guidance, tips and examples for navigating key points in an architect’s career, including education, practice, projects and promotion.

Featuring guidance on: Understanding the barriers and history of women in architectureExpanding the opportunities and visibility of women in leading rolesThe importance of role models and mentoring With a foreword by Jane Duncan OBE PPRIBA.
